Tampa Bay Lightning continues to impress in an almost surreal way.
And Victor Hedman is the hub of the defensive.
Now everyone thinks he is making a name for himself in the future Hall of Fame.
Tampa Bay Lightning has lined up Stanley Cup titles in recent years, but this year they may not have been among the biggest favorites. Instead, the experts pointed out teams such as Toronto, Florida and Colorado. But with two rounds played, we can state that Tampa Bay cleaned up two of the above mentioned teams.
New supermatch
It was a real achievement for Tampa to beat a big bet Toronto in the first round, but in the second round they faced a Florida that broke the record for goals in the regular season, and which was seen by many as the biggest title favorite. But it never even got exciting in the series.
Before tonight’s match, Tampa had a 3-0 lead in the series – and yes, of course it was another win, and Tampa Bay tightened the arc so hard that they beat the great Panthers in four straight. Victor Hedman has been Tampa’s – and the entire playoffs’ – most influential player so far, and after Lightnings kept a clean sheet (!) In tonight’s decisive match, the tributes hail in once again.
“He is given”
The Swede was noted for an ice age of a slightly unlikely 25 minutes in tonight’s match, and he did not, as usual, make a single sharp mistake. After stopping the NHL’s best offensive completely in the four games, several experts now state that Hedman will be given in a future Hall of Fame selection, as soon as he puts the skates on the shelf.
“He is given,” sports commentator John Buccigross wrote on Twitter.
On social media, many believe that Hedman is also moving towards historically good efforts.
Hedman rises in the list of the best slopes of all time. He deserves to be mentioned there soon, ”writes a supporter.
“He is inhuman. He is a God “, writes another.
